"Jersey Boys" is playing inside the theatre at the new Palazzo Resort. ...Ok, here it is. This is the best show that I've seen in a long time. It's the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and the music, the story, the acting, singing, setting, and execution of everything was just absolutely wonderful...and it was so good the first time, that three days later, I went and saw it a second time. I don't often simply rave about a show and so this is a welcome reprieve from my usual blather. Perhaps it is my background in legitimate theatre that brings this musical out as a welcome sight amongst all of the production shows here in Vegas.
"Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding" is playing at the Rio Hotel & Casino. This show has been successfully running there for over four years, and it doesn't look as if the success is going to wane anytime soon. If you love attending weddings, then this is an experience you'll enjoy. This show has the essence of every wedding that you've ever attended, and all the mishaps that you've ever heard of at a wedding. The skilled cast ad libs and improvises their way through an enjoyable evening.
"Le Reve: A Small Collection of Imperfect Dreams" is playing inside the Le Reve Theatre at the Wynn Las Vegas. The show is one of my favorites on the Strip. It is brilliant, and I am happy to see it again and again. They are constantly revising and making changes to make it better and better. No one is resting on their laurels in this production. Created by Franco Dragone, this show is an amazing adventure into a surreal avant-garde world that is stunning, dynamic, sensual, and thrilling. The vocabulary doesn't seem to exist to describe the beauty and the atmosphere created by this production. The cast is exceptional. The theatre is stunning, and the music is outstanding.
